What is the National Association for Business Resources?

The National Association for Business Resources (NABR) is America's most comprehensive organization devoted to affordable services, counseling and education for small and medium-sized businesses.   The Association distinguishes itself from other small-business groups by the range, depth and extremely high quality of its offerings, as well as the low cost to access its services.   Through market research and focus groups, the Association examines the specific needs of smaller businesses in local markets and develops smart solutions to meet those challenges.

NABR evolved from the Michigan Business & Professional Association (MBPA),  founded in 1987 as an organization of small and medium-sized businesses with 20,000 members employing 160,000 people.  NABR has extended the Michigan association's resources and best practices to other major communities in the Midwest and will continue to expand its base of operations market by market to major metropolitan areas across the United States. 

NABR offers its members the kinds of services, benefits and education that otherwise are difficult for small businesses and individual practitioners to find.  Our cost-saving  healthcare program is available to single-person and larger group companies and professionals who often cannot take advantage of affordable health insurance from other sources.

NABR's in-house team of small-business experts offers first-hand knowledge and direct assistance in human resources and healthcare issues, legal assistance, marketing and advertising.  In fact, our in-house member based advertising agency, Small Business Creative Services, produces top-quality advertising, marketing materials, Web-site content and site design for members and can help you save costs with all your marketing needs. Our creative services team is comprised our members throughout the industry.

Our Management Impact Institute and workshops enable you to adopt best practices for your business and keep you proficient in the latest management techniques, while at the same time verifying you as a Best Practices Certified.

Through partnerships, NABR offers members discounts on credit-card processing, compliance services, debt collection, computer training, office supplies and travel services.

We also monitor legislation to serve as an advocate for your business and provide a variety of forums for members to network with each other, sharing ideas and establishing partnerships.

Better than any other national organization, we cover the resources you need to help your business compete and succeed. Call us for anything you need.
